a CQ beer and snacks special call sign

Tired of DX expeditions from remote locations, islands on the air, lighthouses and other classics? Then, this one is for you!

Be ready for the second radio activity at Cahroi Bar, in Portugal, with the singular call sign CT8CAR on this edition.

The first endeavour took place last August 2007, when a group of friends, committed to ham radio, activated this kind of gastropub in Gouveia, Sintra, with the special call sign CT6CAR.

Such event was so successful that now, the same group, will back on radio from there, among good regional excellent meals and beverage.

The special event station will be on the air during July 19 and 20, 2008.

The Cahroi Bar is a familiar establishment, placed on a hot spot for radio communications, serving lunches and dinners at the table, including a good wine and nice fresh local food that can rival a good restaurant's.

With some help from radio wave's propagation this special call sign will be easily reached at every amateur band on several modes.

The beacon will sign it up in the APRS system as well as at Google Earth.

Both will give you the geographical coordinates of the location.

Best Regards.

Hugo Barata, CT2HMX
